Line graph. In Gallup's latest reading, from July 2021, 43% of White adults currently believe relations between White and Black people are very or somewhat good. 33% of Black adults say the same.

Next, I'm going to read a list of problems facing the country. For each one, please tell me if you personally worry about this problem a great deal, a fair amount, only a little or not at all. How much do you personally worry about race relations?
